Stone (wrist) is a game-time call for Friday's Game 2 against the Canadiens, Dave Stubbs of the Montreal Gazette reports.
Stone, who was deemed "very questionable" for the rest of the series Thursday, seems to have improved over the past couple of days. Coach Dave Cameron indicated that if Stone does not suffer a setback, he'll likely see some ice time Friday. "If he's not in jeopardy and real fragile, I think you'll see him in the game," Cameron said.

General manager Bryan Murray said Stone (wrist) is being viewed as "very questionable" for the remainder of the Senators' first-round series with the Canadiens, Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun reports.
After taking a slash to the right wrist from the Habs' P.K. Subban during Wednesday's Game 1 loss, Stone was diagnosed with a microfracture and ligament damage, putting his status in jeopardy for Friday's Game 2 and beyond. The potential loss of Stone would be potentially crippling to the Senators, as he's been one of the game's best scorers since the All-Star break, racking up 15 goals and 38 points in 36 second-half contests. Look for the team to reach a formal decision on Stone's status Friday morning.

Stone is dealing with a microfracture of his right wrist.
As a result, Stone's availability as the Sens' playoff series against Montreal continues, is unclear at this time. At this stage though, we'd be surprised to see Stone play in Friday's Game 2 in Montreal. Stone's absence, for any length of time, would represent a major blow to the Sens' attack, with the 22-year-old coming off a season in which notched 64 points in 80 games.

Stone appeared to injure his wrist in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.
Stone went to the locker room after being slashed by the Habs' P.K. Subban during Wednesday's game, though he did return to the ice. Subban was given a five minute major and ejected for the slash, and could face a suspension. Stone appeared to be favoring his hand when he came back into the game, so his status is certainly worth monitoring moving forward.

Stone potted a pair of goals in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Flyers.
Fellow rookie Andrew Hammond has captured most of the attention during the Senators' spectacular finish to the season that ultimately resulted in a playoff bid, but Stone's emergence down the stretch has been similarly important. The 22-year-old ended the regular season on a nine-game point streak, tallying eight goals and five assists to go with a plus-6 rating during that span. The late charge allowed Stone to finish in a tie with the Flames' Johnny Gaudreau for the rookie scoring title with 64 points.

Stone scored a third-period goal as well as the game-winner in overtime Tuesday in a 4-3 comeback victory against Pittsburgh.
The guy's just a monster, and he's over 60 points here in his first full NHL season. Just imagine if he'd been seeing top-line ice time all year long -- he might be pushing 80. In calendar year 2015, Stone has 44 points in 44 games, and he's on a particularly hot run right now, with six goals and four assists over a seven-game point streak.

Stone remained red-hot Sunday, potting his 22nd goal of the season and adding an assist in a shootout loss to Toronto.
That's a six-game-point streak for Stone, who has netted four goals in that span. Stone has gone beast mode of late, firing a whopping 20 shots on goal in his last four outings. The 22-year-old is just one point away from reaching the 60-point barrier and makes for a great fantasy play in the Sens' final three games of the regular season.

Stone scored Ottawa's lone regulation goal, assisted on the overtime winner and went plus-2 against Tampa Bay on Thursday.
The 22-year-old just keeps on rolling, having tallied up 11 points in his last nine games. If the Sens can sneak into the playoffs, he's going to give the opposition something to fear.

Stone netted his 19th goal of the season in Saturday's loss to the Maple Leafs.
Stone's goal gave the Sens an early 1-0 lead and the forward his 13th point in as many contests. The 22-year-old will finish the season with somewhere in the neighborhood of 60 points, and there's a good chance that may only represent the low end of his production in future years.

Stone dished out three assists -- one on an empty-netter -- in Thursday's 6-4 win over Boston.
The breakout just keeps on rolling. Stone's now right on the verge of a 50-point season here in his first full NHL campaign, and at just 22 years old, the best is yet to come.
